Edit: made some changes that Nebulan suggested, mostly shading, and a lot on the wings. And I'm still happy with it.

Do you know how many times I have decided to make a masterpiece and actually had to final product actually resemble a masterpiece? Without mistakes that need fixing on a computer? Done entirely by hand? Never! I really don't care what anyone says, this turned out better than most anything I've ever done by hand! I didn't mess up the inking. No cat sat on it! It's amazing! The only touch up I did on my computer was the slight brightness/contrast I do to compensate for my scanner.

I guess there are things I'm seeing that I think i can tough up, so I'm tentatively (and nervously) open for critiques. Preferable things I can fix with the pencils.

back story: so I've taken on the challenge to make a new version of each of my original character that's the extact opposite (or "mirror mirror" universe version of the character). This is my dragon character Vegak Li. The character design and this image and the coloring is entirely my own. For good or for bad.
